RSS feeds

Pretty cool. You can download an RSS reader or use FireFox to pull headlines from news sites, forums, blogs, etc without even visiting the site.
FF lets you know when you are on a site that supports it with a little red icon in the address bar. I think IE just makes your system crash when it sees RSS... not sure.

I can look at a drop down list of the last 15-20 posts titles and if they interest me, can then click on them to go to that item... I've got mine set for a few forums as well as some great News...

No, It dropped the dates off the topics only on the Survivalmonkey feeds. A few others are fine. That Sage you offered is pretty cool. Shows the author and date and time and them even shows the smilies and rest of the BBcode format.

I played with a few and then took a look at the different feeds through LYNX. Engine view browser. Was a PITA. The Feed that I could see didn't show up to search engines and Viced versa.. So I put them both up. It's a crude job but sometimes I get frustrated and find a quick fix...

which means that Rss-info 'hosts' the feed. Each time it is called for, that site goes and gets it. Notice there is nothing in the above code about Me or GIM... I'd like to integrate a feed reader on my server that does that itself... I tried caRp and had not so much lluck... stille looking and playing around. And yes, It is an interesting concept for RSS forums... The above was the code plugged into that post. (Admin can html here)

I saw a thread at phpBB about a RSS feed generator that allowed one to specify each forum they wanted in the feed. As it is here, I can just me a forum 'for logged in only' and it will ignore it. I may do that with a few more forums here so my "Survival" feed isn't filled with Humor, Jokes, and General Discussion...

SO , there are two sides to this RSS game. The Generation for Syndication side. And the Server/site based reader side. Trying to find the best of both.

If you could fill a few forums with Search Engine viewable feeds... Think of the traffic it could drive?! For that matter, you could plug a cool blog feed into a forum topic... Hell, I might try it with yours. Put some pressure on you to update

Ahhh, I see what you mean. Yeah I'm not a big fan of rrsinclude hosting the actual feeds. Though, I was assuming that once they release their PHPinclude, it would show us how they were pulling in the feeds and then it could just be edited as needed.

Okay, scratch what I just said. I think I found the actual PHP code to make an integrated RSS feed list.

Yeah I think search engines would like RSS forums. They'd be super content rich. And then if a lot of people link to the forum from their sites, the site would probably have an amazing Google PageRank.
